As always let me begin with the Trailer of this Movie:

The movie revolves completely around one of Chennai’s busiest market streets – the Ranganathan Street in T.Nagar and hence the name Angaadi Theru which means ‘Market Street’ in pure Tamil. The Movie is directed by G Vasantha Balan and produced by Ayngaran International. It stars Newcomer Mahesh as Jothilingam aka Lingu, ‘Nijama thaan Solriya’ Anjali as Sermakani aka Kani, KKK Fame Pandi as Marimuthu aka Mari, Director A Venkatesh as Karungali and many other new faces. Brilliant acting by everyone, especially the actress Anjali. Her eyes speak everything.

‘Angadi Theru’ celebrates the triumph of human spirit over overwhelming odds, and the kindling of hope in the midst of all the pain and misery. It tells the story of the workers, the sales people in the shops of Ranganathan Street. It is like tracing the story of few random people whom you will come across in those busy streets, blowing it up and making a movie out of it. Though the story parodies a particular store in T.Nagar, I would say it is the same case with many other shops in India. Especially because there is not much of an opportunity in the interior parts of the country, people come to the cities and take up low paying jobs. The employees are exploited from early morning to midnight, and they too bear all this because of their helplessness. They need the money, the job, to survive. The exploitation is similar even in the IT companies, but people are in a better bargaining position than those shown in the movie.

The movie’s technical brilliance is something which you will not be able to appreciate at the first viewing. The film has such an engaging screenplay, that you will not be able to digress away from the story. You can’t notice any flaws with the cinematography, editing or the music as you would probably be very busy following the details depicted on the screen. The scenes are impact oriented and consequential – You will be simply occupied with the emotions that engulf you with every scene that is exhibited. The music too is Good and I liked the songs after listening to it for a few times and understanding the meaning. Jayamohan’s pithy lines lend a natural feel and deserve a special appreciation.

Verdict: A Must-Watch for those who appreciate Good Cinema.
